Use the "Easy Koins" trick, and instead of pressing Right(6) to get the Sapphre Koins, just press Up. If you hear a sound, hold Up. Then, when it stops, press R2 on the other controller to open the wager screen. It should say some number and have the Sapphire Koin below it. Press X on a controller. If you have less Sapphire than the displayed number, both players should drop to zero, then it should read 10000000. Go into the Krypt and you should have a large number of Koins.

Infinite Koins

Use the "Infinite Sapphire Koins" trick, then press R2 on controllers one and two to display the wager screen. It should be on Onyx Koins. Change the type of Koin to Sapphire, and a large negative number should appear. Then, change the type to the Koin of your choice and press X on controllers one and two. Press R2 on controllers one and two, and you should see the same number of 1000000 for the Koin you just set the wager for. Change the type of Koin being wagered to either of the ones that say 1000000 and a negative number should appear again.Cchange the type of Koin to another that you want to have unlimited of. Then, repeat for all the Koins so that they all say 1000000 and make a wager of negative Koins. Do a fight, have either player win, and both profiles will have unlimited Koins.

You would have to have at least 462 Ruby Koins and open Krypt PD (to get 1056 Platinum Koins) and get the rest of 3003 needed to open CN for Cyrax. You can get extra Platinum Koins in the following Krypts: FV (83 Platinum Koins needed for 243 platinum Koins); PK (157 Platinum Koins needed for 475 Platinum Koins); WS (44 Onyx Koins needed for 165 Platinum Koins); and NG (63 Sapphire Koins needed for 252 Platinum Koins).

Easy wins

Note: This trick can only be done with Sub-Zero, Kung Lao, Li Mei, Cyrax, Shang Tsung, Frost, Reptile, or Kitana. You can impale your weapon into your opponent, making them lose life every second. The move varies, and with some you have to press the D-pad and the button. To find the correct move, press Start, select "Move List", then look under your weapon and it will say "Impale". All of them have to be close range, but Kitana can throw her steel fans. However if it hits and they block or dodge it, you cannot use it again until the end of the match.

Remain idle long enough during Konquest mode and the "monk" will turn around and shrug his shoulders at you.

Manual illustration

The instruction manual shows a different character selection screen than what actually appears during the game.

Repeatedly fall and recover during fatality

Use a fighter that impales an opponent with their weapon and loses it (Shang Tsung, Frost, or Mei Lei). In the second round, impale your opponent with your weapon. When the "Finish Him/Her" message appears, your opponent will repeatedly fall down and get back up.

Easy Koins

Note: This trick requires two controllers. Select versus mode and load a profile for each fighter. Each fighter must have some number of each Koin. Do a Wager then after that match is over, have only one player press R2. Press Right and you will hear the sound, then press Up to bet Koins. Press R2 again and play that match. The winner will get the coins, but the loser will not lose any. Go back and forth with each fight to make each gain more Koins, thus making each match worth more because you can wager more. Keep holding Up until you do not hear the sound anymore to bet the maximum amount in time. Use the following to learn what Koins you are betting, as you will not be able to see:

Press Right, Up: Onyx

Press Right(2), Up: Jade

Press Right(3), Up: Ruby

Press Right(4), Up: Gold

Press Right(5), Up: Platinum

Press Right(6), Up: Sapphire

Additionally, enter the versus menu and load a profile for each player. Press R2 to display the wager screen. Then, max out the wager for one Koin type and select "OK" on both controllers. Back at the character selection screen, unload one profile then reload the same profile. Then, alternately unload the second profile and reload it. Press R2 to go into the wager screen again. If done correctly, you both should have won the amount of coins wagered. Repeat this for this same Koin type until you are satisfied. Then, wager one final time for a few Koins and finally complete a battle. After returning to the character select screen, you must press Triangle to exit out and re-enter the versus menu. Repeat this for the other Koin colors. Note: Once you have 1000 Koins for one color, fight and save and redo it for the same color so you increase at a rate of 1000 Koins per profile load/unload. Then, repeat at about 10,000, so you get 10,000 per battle rather than 1,000 and so on. Also, when wagering hold Up on both controllers to increase the rate the Koin Kounter rises.

Victory pose select

Each character has three end-of-battle poses. Perform the following when the "Finish Him/Her" message appears. Note: If you run out of time performing your fatality or if you end the match with your weapon, your character will automatically perform the pose of the last stance he or she was in.

1. Strike your opponent in your character's first form.

2. Strike your opponent in your character's second form.

3. Execute your characters fatality.

Fatalities

Fatalities may be done from anywhere on screen. Note: Press L1 at the "Finish Him/Her" screen to change into your fatality stance, or you will have to figure out the distance range.
